Cheers Chris
looks like there will be a world shortage of cogs and gears by time you are done, along with the rack and pinion for CVA antennae operation that I have used.

At long last we are now allowed back to sailing, been to long, but no car for at least another week

Bob

HI AGAIN Bob yes i think there will be a shortage

[size=78%] but its fun tryin to get things goin on these models is'nt it an yes i know its not the correct mountin for these radars but its the best that i can do in this scale an hope your anntenna works ok [/size]

Re: the antennae, if you look at the latest CVA video on here you will see them in action, rack and pinion working all three in time with each other.

car is brakes will not bleed, only been three months, now trying to fix it, but a lot of that time is due to the virus, seems the abs unit is shot, hopefully back this week.

sailing, I can only talk for my club in Gloucester.. one site is still closed, the docks you can sail on our normal day which is Saturday, with no pre booking, as long as social distance is kept, very easy to do there. Our other site is by booking a slot on sailing days, our portacabin is closed so food and drink and chairs have to be brought, limited numbers and social distancing. Not perfect but better than nothing.

Oh, I have car troubles. I think the starter motor is failing and possibly the battery or alternator is likewise.

Mind you, the alternator has experienced five years of periodic flooding on our country lanes so I would not be surprised if this was an issue.

AN a close up shot

frogman3 · « **Reply #489 on:** June 29, 2020, 07:03:15 pm »

Now here I've now cut out most of the main mast an on the right is the main radar shaft with its gears

frogman3 · « **Reply #490 on:** June 29, 2020, 07:09:23 pm »

in this next pic I've had a think an i realize that i will need inspection hatches to check every thing is going ok as this mast will lift of for servicing

frogman3 · « **Reply #491 on:** June 29, 2020, 07:11:02 pm »

now starting to glue the mast together an inspection hatch in now fitted in on its hinges to open an close

frogman3 · « **Reply #492 on:** June 29, 2020, 07:15:06 pm »

an its slowly coming together

frogman3 · « **Reply #493 on:** June 29, 2020, 07:21:09 pm »

an the mast is together an the main radar shaft is just laid on the plans to see if ive got it right an i have an i'll just say in case anyone notices it but on the shaft the yellow crown gear has got to go on upside down so the radar will rotate in the right way in the next updates it will be all put together hopefully unless a problem but so far as i can see no prob

In answer to your question on the large pipes alongside tiger class, it seems they are uptake/down takes and also incorporate emergency vents.
Hat to wait for answers from the guys.

I suppose give her original laying down date, she still had a lot of old tech in her. Wat with those radar arrays, that will be a brilliant mast set up. All that mesh!

No, not your PC......I believe this issue is some form of instability with a software architectural glitch ......you like many have only experienced this since an

upgrade some time back

You will see [size=0px]"[/size] in my message...I did not type this script.......
